Now with 12 chargers to charge an electric car on a fast charge that takes 30 minutes, as has been mentioned earlier, how many cars can charge up in an hour? Far fewer than with gasoline. To charge the same number of electric cars you would need a whole lot of charging stations and 1/4 acre wouldn't even have enough space. It would take at least 20 acres of charging stations to even come close. How much does an acre of land cost in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles or any of the other large urban cities. Do you realize how much a charge would cost with those land prices? The belief in electric cars falls into the same category as Unicorns and Pixies.

Buccees has over a 100 pumps, wonder if they will add charging stations and if so how many?

I hate to keep belaboring the unrealistic belief in electric cars, but some reason needs to be in the conversation. I have read a couple of articles that says for California to be able to provide enough electricity for projected population growth and the growth of electric cars mandated for 2035, the state will have to build 20 full size generating plants. Right now, the state is operating at the maximum output of electricity available. There is no way that will happen by 2035. By the time all the environmental requirements have been met, the claims by the NIBY groups who claim some endangered species is threatened have been disproved and the necessary funding has been obtained, 2035 is a pipe dream.

The new one, in Florence, SC has a ton of Tesla charging stations. I'd guess at leas 15-20 of them...

You really don't seem to understand that most of the chargers will be independently own. Either by private owners, states, cities, electric companies. No different than what is in place now. Maybe the only difference is we won't have to worry the Saudis will shut the spigot if they're not happy.

We shouldn't have to worry about the Saudis now...

And that is the true objective of eliminating gas powered POVs.

B-I-N-G-O!! It's all about controlling the population while the elites still move around in their high priced private jets, yachts and expensive cars.

As a business traveler, are the airport rental car companies going to have hundred of charges on site? Will I be asked to bring my rental car back full of charge? Will my car be fully charged when I pick it up?

Will the hotels have chargers for every person staying over? If I get in late, and I cannot get my car charged, is my boss ok if I miss the meeting because my electric car had no juice in it?

What a nightmare!

Their plan is to control energy and food production so they can achieve a total population in the USA of 100M by 2035. That is what they mean by "sustainability". With 100M people in the USA, electric cars will be sustainable along with their "Smart Cities".

[Two Bills]

When the ICE was first massed produced, and cars came on market big time, I wonder what industry did to get fuel to all the users?
